Question:
If the imam is reciting in the prayer and comes upon a verse of prostration, and the imam wants to prostrate, does he say the takbir, or does he prostrate without the takbir?
Answer:
He says the takbir. If the imam comes upon a verse of prostration and wants to prostrate, he says the takbir for going down and for rising from the prostration, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the takbir in every lowering and raising in the prayer. This is part of it. Yes.
